He has spent 46 years as a senator and VP, and is not a rich man. Obviously he wasn't on the take. I love Joe. Reminds me of legendary Speaker Sam Rayburn. He spent decades in Washington and years as Speaker, and when he died his only asset was a house in Bonham, Texas. He lived in a rooming house all those years in DC.
